Melanotic neuroectodermal tumour of infancy is an extremely rare neoplasm arising in newborns and young children, typically involving the face or cranium. A case arising from the maxilla, requiring extensive resection with a near-total maxillectomy, is presented. A thorough review of the literature on this unusual tumour is provided, with emphasis on prognostic factors and appropriate treatment.Key Words: Maxillectomy; Melanotic; MNTI; Pediatric; Pigmented Tumeur mélanotique neuroectodermique de l'enfance La tumeur mélanotique neuroectodermique de l'enfance, qui touche surtout la face et le crâne, est extrêmement rare chez les nouveau-nés et les jeunes enfants.
